Ship's Log:
The morning following our arrival at Port Melbourne, we returned
down the river to Williamstown, and boarded passengers at the
Workshop Pier. An excellent day for a sail on Port Phillip, with a 25
knot Northerly. Sail was piled on for a cracking sail, followed by
several others on the following days. Port Phillip Bay is an
excellent ground for day sails; plenty of room to run or beat, and
flat water, so people of all ages can experience it without fear of
having green gills!
Williamstown is a lovely, historic area, and our ship feels very much
at home there; not that we intend to stay forever, though. On
Thursday weīll be sailing to Geelong, returning to Williamstown on
Monday for more day sails. There are still some berths available for
the Geelong day sails this Sunday. --- James Parbery.
